How would you describe your personality? Shy? Friendly? Confident? Happy? And if you learnt another language, would your personality be the same in that language? I think this is an interesting question, and we have heard how some Japanese people change when they learn English.
English language guidance
Masami and I help people how to communicate in English in our English Communication Programme. In doing so we learn more about the individual, work with what they already know, and guide them to find what they want to say.
Grammar, vocabulary, culture
As the programme is tailor-made to each person, the grammar and cultural awareness will be similar, however, each person’s vocabulary can be different. In building their vocabulary to effectively communicate, their words demonstrate their personality.
Find your voice
Previous students have said we have helped them “find their voice” which is a wonderful compliment. It also shows the hard work and dedication of our students. Other students have commented how they look at the English language differently now because of what we do.
Did these people’s personalities change when learning English communication with us? From what I see, they have a new perspective on English and are more confident speaking it. Even when it’s not “perfect”, they know what they want to say and say it the way they can.
Culture and personality
The cultural differences between the Japanese and English languages have an impact on how we communicate. I have heard how people’s personalities and habits change to suit a foreign language or country. Language is influenced by culture and vice-versa.
From what I have seen and heard, people’s personalities stay the same but are expanded. They are the same but different; often the person doesn’t notice it but their family and friends do.
An expanded personality
I think a Japanese person’s personality does translate when communicating in English, nevertheless, when acquiring authentic English communication skills, a person’s personality has inevitably been expanded.
